Weird, Strange but true, an ordeal of 16-year old girl, Omolola Oderinde, who was impregnated by her father Segun Oderinde , and they have a child. It is unbelievable.

But it has happened again and there is a living being serving as a confirmation. A bouncing baby boy named Moses Okiki Bolutiwatife. The ‘it’ is incest committed by a 42-year-old Segun Oderinde against his 16-year-old daughter. The name, Boluwatife, means ‘As God wills’, but is it really the will of God for a man to sire a child through his own biological daughter?

A white tiger has killed a male student who witnesses say climbed over a fence at the New Delhi zoo in India and into the animal's enclosure. National Zoological Park spokesman Riyaz Ahmed Khan said the man ignored repeated warnings that he should not get too close to the outdoor enclosure and climbed over a knee-high fence and small hedges. Other eyewitnesses said the man was leaning over the barricade and may have fallen inside the closure by accident , according to IBN News Live.

Police arrived on the scene "very quickly", but could not save his life. The man, whose body remained in the outdoor enclosure two hours after the attac

 The epidemic of the deadly Ebola virus that was born in the depths of the jungle, has been spreading around the world with an unprecedented speed lately. The number of victims, according to official figures, has already exceeded a thousand people. The number of infected individuals nears almost two thousand. The WHO declared the disease a threat of global significance. Are there ways to combat the fever? It turns out that there is a vaccine against Ebola. Pentagon scientists were developing it for 30 years, and all the rights for the drug belong to the government of the United States. Two infected US medics received injections of the vaccine and they started recovering from the disease immediately. Why has this been made public only now? Why is it the USA that holds all the rights for the use of the vaccine? There can be two most obvious answers found to these questions. As one can see, Ebola is a perfect biological weapon: it spreads quickly and gives nearly 100 percent mo

Indigo Children are considered to be a unique category of the younger children on our planet. These small people have quite different consciousness and intelligence. They are talented and their unusual abilities and attitude to the world can’t but astonish the imagination of the ordinary adults. The phenomenon of Indigo Children constantly becomes wider, these kids use to ask the questions that have no answer. In 1978, the American psychic Nancy Ann Tape made ​​an amazing discovery: she found a child with a new color of the aura, which was blue-violet, while aura of ordinary children is gold. That strange hint was called “indigo” by artists so children have got the same name. Later it was found out that this case was not unique and  every year more and more Indigo Children   come to our world. They are characterized by certain behavior, high spirituality and great knowledge about the world. In the mid-’90s American psychologists Lee Carroll and Jan Tober were interes

Hira Ratan Manek claims that since 1995 he has lived many days solely on sunlight and water. Sun gazing is the practice of staring directly at the sun to receive “nourishment” from it. The practice is controversial since some believe that looking directly at the sun for even brief periods of time may cause blindness or severe damage to the eye. Most eye care professionals advise against looking directly at the sun. “Sun gazing is a relaxed look at the sun just as we see sunrise and sunset,” Manek said. “It gives all benefits for health. Those who practice sun gazing get total health of mind, body and spirit without any cost … but only at safe times of the sun.” Sun gazing is often practiced with the bare feet in direct contact with bare earth. Some sun gazers only sun gaze during the so-called safe hours, one half hour after sunrise and one half hour before sunset, while others feel that sun gazing can be done at other times of the day. Manek, 69, from Bodhav

It is easy to worship God when things are going great in your life - when He has provided food, friends, family, health, and happy situations.  But what do you do when God seems a million miles away?  How do you worship God then? One of the deepest levels of worship is  praising God  in spite of pain,  thanking God  through trials,  trusting Him  when tempted,  surrendering  while suffering, and  loving Him  when He 'seems' distant. As I walk to work each morning I take the exact same route, it's 'routine', you could say just like your daily quiet time or morning prayer, something you do everyday, right? .. On my way I pass the same man wearing a high-viz jacket standing between roadworks and pedestrians, he's there making sure the big cement rollers don't run over the small busy-body people on their journey to work, he stands in the same spot, morning, noon and night, wind, rain, sunshine, sleet, snow and even HAIL!

Edward Mordrake was reportedly the 19th century heir to an English peerage. He supposedly had an extra face on the back of his head, which could neither eat nor speak, although it could laugh or cry. Edward begged doctors to have his “demon head” removed, because, supposedly, it whispered horrible things to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He committed suicide at the age of 23. The true tale of Edward Mordake (Mordrake) has been lost to history. His unusual case occurred early in medical history and is referenced only in tales handed down. The tale of his life has become so muddled through the passage of time that no solid date of birth or death is evident to modern researchers. The story always begins the same way. Edward is said be have been heir to one of the noblest families in England.He was considered a bright and charming man – a scholar, a musician and a young man in possession of profound grace. He was said to be quite handsome when vi
